We encourage contributions to Symposium V04 Modeling Metamorphism at the
AGU Fall Meeting this year.
Description:
Modeling in metamorphic studies provides insight into understanding those
fundamental processes by which metamorphism occurs, from the submicron to
the kilometer scale. Modeling helps direct acquisition of new experimental
data and guides us to new observations in the laboratory and the field, and
it enables a better understanding of metamorphic processes as they relate
to lithospheric evolution. Contributions are encouraged from a wide array
of subdisciplines that use modeling to understand metamorphic processes and
lithospheric evolution. Examples include, but are not limited to, spatial
and temporal evolution of burial, orogenesis, and exhumation; mechanisms of
geochemical differentiation of the crust and mantle; transport of heat and
mass; nucleation and growth of crystals, and microstructural and textural
development; fluid flow and melting, from ore deposits to global chemical
cycles; and quantification of extensive variables to understanding
metamorphic belts.
We do hope you will participate and take advantage of this opportunity to
showcase your work.
